Just traded Johnson (Hou) for Maclin

Who are your RBs?

I think that's a steal. Maclin is a WR1 in an offense that runs a ridiculous amount of plays. He's also the deep threat. He got targeted 16 times last week. I love me some Maclin.

Charles, Bell, Julio, Antonio Brown...

i play in another league that I thought based in the last 3 years guys paid attention and knew their stuff, however, I posted a trade I pulled off in the spinoff thread.

After trades/dumb player drops/paying attention, here's my current lineup in this PPR all TDs 7pts league:

QB/WRx3/RBx2/TEx1/Flex/K/DEF
QB: Cutler
WR: Mega, Julio, Brown (Pit), Gordon, Colston, Hunter
RB: Murray, Bell (Pit), Forsett, Robinson, FJax, Sankey, Davis, Crowell
TE: Kelce, Ertz
K: Who cares
DEF: Streaming




In the PPR league where I got Maclin, same settings as the other I just posted except with bonuses:

QB: Foles
WR: Julio, Brown (Pit), Maclin, Quick, Gordon, Hunter
RB: Charles, Bell (Pit), Stacy, Matthews, Hill, Sankey, Davis, McKinnon
TE: Gronk, Cameron
K: Who cares
DEF: Streaming (Picked up GB this week after trading Cincy/Spiller for Stacy )

I like my chances in both. However I am 2-2 in in both

I don't know man. All leagues are Yahoo leagues. The two I've posted here received C- drafts which I thought was crazy but the computer hated them.

Both leagues though are filled with guys that absolutely fill out their entire starting rosters, including K an DEF with their first 10 picks. And most all of them roster 2 K and DEF for bye weeks Peyton and Brees went in the 1st RD, Rodgers 2nd, Stafford 3rd. I just don't agree with either of those strategies.

I drafted 3rd and pretty much went with BPA all the way through but didn't want to take a QB until I'd taken a combo of at least 8 WR/RB, unless I got lucky and drafted one of the top 3 TEs and then I would've waited until the 10th for QB. However, I'm not taking Graham at 3rd, I think he went 7th, and Thomas went in the 2nd and Gronk in the 3rd. Just too early for me.

So basically I've taken advantage of guys that drafted the Rice's and ADPs o the world, and in addition to that, the fact I stocked up on solid players throughout allowed me to package players to guys that drafted QBs/K/DEF too early for single players that are studs.

I can't remember the last time I made a trade straight up. Nearly always giving 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 or 2. This leaves me bench space for all the hot WW picks or under the radar guys like the Quick's of the world. Plus I always try and find somebody to trade before the season. Risky yes, but I try to pay attention and make good choices, I'd NEVER trade for injury prone players like Foster for instance. This year it was for high upside guy in Ball. I gave preseason hyped Percy and Pierre who seemed to be in store for a HUGE year, ie he's the new pass catching RB cause Sproles was gone, Ingram was still gonna prolly suck and I never trust rookie RBs like Robinson. Worked out cause I packaged Ball a couple weeks ago to get Gronk and Hill.

Just my strategy. Wouldn't work in all leagues. Especially if it was a league full of TDFF board members that pay more attention than most.
